|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

under conversion and/or option obligations under bonds issued by the Company or a group company in the same volume as they would be entitled to if they exercised their conversion and/or option rights or fulfilled their conversion and/or option
obligations;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | where the capital is increased against contributions in cash and the total pro rata amount of capital stock represented by the new shares in respect of
which the shareholders subscription rights are excluded does not exceed 10% of the Companys capital stock existing on May 20, 2015, or at the time the authorization is registered in the commercial register or at the time the new
shares are issued and the issue price of the new shares is not substantially (within the meaning of Section 203 (1) and (2) and Section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG) below the trading price of listed shares of the same class
carrying the same rights at the time the Executive Board finally determines the issue price; for the purpose of calculating the 10% threshold, the pro rata amount of capital stock represented by any new or repurchased shares that were issued or sold

or option rights or obligations relate under bonds that were issued on or after May 20, 2015, by applying Section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG mutatis mutandis must be deducted;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

acquisitions of enterprises or parts thereof or interests therein or other contributable assets;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to implement a scrip dividend by which shareholders are given the option of contributing their dividend entitlements to the Company (either in whole or
in part) as a contribution in kind against the issue of new shares from Authorized Capital II.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The aggregate
pro rata amount of capital stock represented by new shares in respect of which the shareholders subscription rights are excluded under these authorizations, together with the pro rata amount of capital stock attributable to treasury shares or
to which conversion and/or option rights or obligations relate under bonds which were sold or issued, subject to an exclusion of subscription rights, on or after May 20, 2015, must not, however, exceed 20% of the capital stock; this calculation
shall be made on the basis of the amount of capital stock existing on May 20, 2015, at the time of registration of the authorization or at the time the new shares are issued, whichever is lowest. The shareholders subscription rights
are also deemed to have been excluded if the relevant shares are sold or issued by applying Section 186 (3) sentence 4 AktG analogously or mutatis mutandis.

The Executive Board is authorized, subject to the consent of the Supervisory Board, to determine the further details of the implementation of capital increases from Authorized Capital II. The Supervisory
Board is authorized to amend the wording of the Articles of Incorporation after the full or partial implementation of the capital stock increase from Authorized Capital II or after the expiration of the authorization period to reflect the volume of
the capital increase from Authorized Capital II.



|7. | The capital stock shall be subject to a further contingent increase by up to  100 million by issuing up to 100 million no-par value ordinary
voting bearer shares (Contingent Capital IV). The contingent capital increase shall be implemented only to the extent that the holders or
|-- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

| | creditors of convertible bonds or warrants under the warrant-linked bonds issued or guaranteed by SAP AG or  after the conversion of SAP AG to a European Company (SE) has become
effective  by SAP SE, or any of its direct or indirect majority holdings on or before May 24, 2016 by virtue of the authorization resolved by the General Meeting of Shareholders on May 25, 2011 exercise their conversion or
option rights and no other methods for servicing these rights are used. The contingent capital increase may, however, not exceed the amount and number of shares equaling the amount or number immediately prior to the effective date of the conversion
of SAP AG to a European Company (SE) with regard to which the contingent capital increase pursuant to Section 4 (7) of the Articles of Incorporation of SAP AG has not yet been implemented. The new shares shall in each case be issued
at the conversion or option price to be determined in accordance with the above authorization resolution. The new shares shall participate in the profits as from the beginning of the fiscal year in which they are created as a result of the exercise
of conversion or option rights. The Executive Board shall be authorized to determine the further details of the implementation of the contingent capital increase.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|8. | The Executive Board is authorized, subject to the consent of the Supervisory Board, to increase the Companys capital stock on one or more occasions on or before

Section 4 (8) of the Articles of Incorporation of SAP AG which is still available immediately prior to the effective date of the conversion of SAP AG to a European Company (SE) (Authorized Capital III). The
shareholders subscription rights are excluded. The new shares may be used exclusively to grant shares to employees of SAP SE and its downstream affiliates (employee shares). In this context, the new shares may also be issued to a bank or
other entity meeting the requirements of Section 186 (5) sentence 1 AktG which subscribes the shares subject to an undertaking to use them exclusively for the purpose of granting employee shares. Insofar as this is permitted by law, shares
may be issued to employees in such a manner that the contribution to be paid on such shares is covered by a part of the annual net income which the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board may allocate to other revenue reserves under
Section 58 (2) AktG. The employee shares may also be procured by a bank or other entity meeting the requirements of Section 186 (5) sentence 1 AktG by way of securities loans, with the new shares being used to redeem such securities
loans. The Executive Board is authorized, subject to the consent of the Supervisory Board, to determine the further details of the implementation of capital increases from Authorized Capital III. The Supervisory Board is authorized to amend the
wording of the Articles of Incorporation after the full or partial implementation of the capital stock increase from Authorized Capital III or after the expiration of the authorization period to reflect the volume of the capital increase from
Authorized Capital III.
